FIU impressed in the last game

FIU lost the first game to Indiana 31-7, but they bounced back in the last game. In the last game, FIU faced Central Michigan and was able to secure the win 52-16. FIU scored 21 points in the second quarter and that was enough to win. The offense got the attention, but what the defense was able to do was impressive. They intercepted Central Michigan quarterback Joey Labas five times, giving the offense really good field position.

Keyone Jenkins was under center for FIU, completing 10 of his 18 passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns. Kejon Owens also had a strong game, finishing with nine carries for 60 yards and a touchdown. In this game, the FIU defense will have to look to force a few turnovers.

Why FIU will score against Florida Atlantic

• Florida Atlantic has lost seven of its last eight games.
• Florida International has won three of its last four games in September as an underdog.
• Florida International has covered the spread in each of its last four road games against non-conference opponents.
• Florida Atlantic has failed to cover the spread in any of its last four September home games against non-AP ranked teams.

Florida Atlantic has problems

Florida Atlantic is having some issues heading into this game and sits at an 0-2 record. In the first game against Michigan State, they were competitive but ended up losing 16-10. In the last game against Army, Florida Atlantic only scored seven points and ended up losing by 17 points at home. Cam Fancher was quarterback in the last game and completed 25 of his 37 passes for 191 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The running game has had some major problems getting going and they need to find a way to get the offense going.

They also need to try to limit turnovers. FIU has done a good job of limiting turnovers so far this season, and if they want to have a chance in this game, they need to keep the ball. If they give the ball away, the game could get ugly early.

FIU vs. Florida Atlantic Prediction

Florida Atlantic's offense has struggled a lot going into this game and I'm worried about what they'll do again in this game. FIU's defense has done a good job of forcing turnovers so far this season and that will be the difference here. FIU's offense may not exactly run up the score, but they'll have enough offensive success to keep the game close and maybe even pull out the win. I hope FIU gets the points here.
